Matthew 1 King James Version 1611

From Textus Receptus

• 1 The booke of the generation of Iesus Christ, the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.

• 2 Abraham begate Isaac; and Isaac begate Iacob; and Jacob begate Iudas and his brethren;

• 3 And Iudas begate Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begate Esrom; and Esrom begate Aram;

• 4 And Aram begate Aminadab; and Aminadab begate Naasson; and Naasson begate Salmon;

• 5 And Salmon begate Booz of Rachab; and Booz begate Obed of Ruth; and Obed begate Iesse;

• 6 And Iesse begate Dauid the king; & Dauid the king begate Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

• 7 And Solomon begate Roboam; and Roboam begate Abia; and Abia begate Asa;

• 8 And Asa begate Iosaphat; and Iosaphat begate Ioram; and Ioram begate Ozias;

• 9 And Ozias begate Ioatham; and Ioatham begate Achas; and Achas begate Ezekias;

• 10 And Ezekias begate Manasses; and Manasses begate Amon; and Amon begate Iosias;

• 11 And Iosias begate Iechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:

• 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Iechonias begate Salathiel; and Salathiel begate Zorobabel;

• 13 And Zorobabel begate Abiud; and Abiud begate Eliakim; and Eliakim begate Azor;

• 14 And Azor begate Sadoc; & Sadoc begate Achim; and Achim begate Eliud;

• 15 And Eliud begate Eleazar; and Eleazar begate Matthan; and Matthan begate Iacob;

• 16 And Iacob begate Ioseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Iesus, who is called Christ.

• 17 So all the generations from Abraham to Dauid are fourteene generations; and from Dauid vntill the carrying away into Babylon are fourteene generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon vnto Christ are fourteene generations.

• 18 Now the birth of Iesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Ioseph, before they came together, shee was found with childe of the holy Ghost.

• 19 Then Ioseph her husband, being a iust man, and not willing to make her a publique example, was minded to put her away priuily.

• 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a dreame, saying, Ioseph, thou sonne of Dauid, fear not to take vnto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceiued in her is of the holy Ghost.

• 21 And she shall bring forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iesus: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.

• 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

• 23 Behold, a Uirgin shall be with childe, and shall bring foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, is, God with vs.

• 24 Then Ioseph being raised from sleepe did as the Angel of the Lord had bidden him, & took vnto him his wife:

• 25 And knewe her not, till shee had brought forth her first borne sonne: and he called his name Iesus.
